| -2- suspension, the shock absorbers have been arranged so that both loads can be adjusted without removing the damper from the car. A separate sheet is being circulated which indicates how this may be accomplished. It is probable that, now we have made every endeavour to cater for good riding qualities at low speeds, we shall get certain complaints of low insufficient firmness in the springs at high speeds. By setting the rear shock absorbers to. 100 lbs. up and down, these should be overcome. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
